🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Require module-level recipe entrypoints.

ast.walk(tree) accepts a nested function or a class method named build_model or train. The evaluator cannot import those definitions as module-level entrypoints. Inspect tree.body instead.

Proposed fix 
                   functions = {
                       node.name
-                      for node in ast.walk(tree)

This section says healthy pods resume from the payer seal. docs/prism.md lines 82-85 says a process restart marks the submission failed promptly and instructs the user to stop the pod when the seal is missing. Define which states resume, fail, and require a manual pod stop. Conflicting instructions can stop a healthy pod or create an unnecessary retry.
